  5. Disconnect the GPU power cable from the GPU and system board.
  6. If you are removing the GPU permanently, install a filler bracket over the empty slot opening, and lower the expansion card latch.
    NOTE You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. The filler bracket is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
